04 Oct WordPress Security

The vast majority of website hacking occurs because of exploits in older, outdated software. For example, according to online security sources, roughly 51% of all WordPress hacks occur because of vulnerabilities in outdated WordPress and Plugin files. Updating your software will not only improve the experience for your website visitors (bug fixes), but it will also include important security patches. Shortgrass can perform updates on your behalf quickly and safely.

Additionally, installing a Captcha system on your website forms will help safeguard against fraudulent orders and automated bot hacking attempts. Captcha protects your site by verifying that form and order submissions come from actual people. Please contact Shortgrass Web if you are interested in installing a Captcha system on one of your web forms, or on your shopping cart checkout page.
